“…Average DO was found above 5 mg/l in the samples from Kapasia, Kaliganj, and Sreepur. According to [7,[26][27], the acceptable DO for domestic use and aquaculture can be considered 4.0-6.0 mg/l. From the study of physicochemical properties, upazila Kapasia was found better in terms of physical properties of water such as DO, Temperature, pH, and TDS.…”

“…The capital city is located in the central part of the country and district Gazipur is in the north of the capital Dhaka and is highly concentrated in different industries such as textile and garments, plastic and chemical industries, glass and battery manufacturing industries, food processing industries, shoe making industries, tannery, steel plants, dairy, beverage, feed, pesticides, etc. [7][8]. The effluents from those industries are mixed with different surface water bodies and contaminate the aquatic systems as well as soil environments [9].…”

Pollution of surface water and heavy metals is one of the growing concerns worldwide due to industrialization and unplanned urbanization. The surface water pollution level was studied by assessing the physicochemical properties and heavy metal concentration of collected samples in Gazipur district. Maximum average temperature(35.200C±2.63), EC(1423µs/cm), and TDS(746.5mg/l) were observed in Kaliakoir upazila. These parameters were found minimum in Kapasia upazila. DO was found above 5mg/l in Sreepur, Kapasia and Kaliganj. Cr and Ni were too low to detect by the instrument. The maximum average concentration of Pb(925.6917µg/l), Mn(477.8625µg/l), and Na(11230.17µg/l) was observed in Kaliakoir upazila. However, no Fe was observed in Kaliakoir upazila. The maximum Fe concentration was Sreepur upazila (3531.6µg/l) followed by Sadar (1496.517µg/l) upazila. Maximum average Cd concentration was observed in Kapasia (41.28µg/l) followed by Kaliakoir (30.8767µg/l), Sadar (29.4283µg/l) and Sreepur (28.8042µg/l). Cu concentration was found maximum in Kaliganj (14.205µg/l) followed by Sadar (6.29µg/l) and Kaliakoir (3.893µg/l). However, Cu concentration was found nil in Kapasia. The maximum average concentration of Ca(29197.25µg/l) and Mg(8142.833µg/l) was observed in Kaliganj and the minimum concentration was observed in Sreepur upazila. The order of concentration of heavy metals in the study area is Ca>Na>Mg>Fe>Pb>Mn>Cd>Cu>Ni>Cr. From the findings, the physicochemical parameters of the surface water sources were found higher than the standards in most of the samples.

“…Water is the primary requirement for the survival of all life forms [1], and when it comes to the human utilization of it, water quality is significantly more essential than water quantity [2]. Rivers are an important natural source of water primarily for domestic, industrial, and agricultural uses as well as being a vital habitat for numerous freshwater organisms [3,4].…”

This study investigated the phycoremediation abilities of Chlorella vulgaris (microalga) and Anabaena variabilis (cyanobacterium) for the detoxification of polluted river water. Lab-scale phycoremediation experiments were conducted for 20 days at 30 °C using the microalgal and cyanobacterial strains and water samples collected from the Dhaleswari river in Bangladesh. The physicochemical properties such as electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), biological oxygen demand (BOD), hardness ions, and heavy metals of the collected water samples indicated that the river water is highly polluted. The results of the phycoremediation experiments demonstrated that both microalgal and cyanobacterial species significantly reduced the pollutant load and heavy metal concentrations of the river water. The pH of the river water was significantly raised from 6.97 to 8.07 and 8.28 by C. vulgaris and A. variabilis, respectively. A. variabilis demonstrated higher efficacy than C. vulgaris in reducing the EC, TDS, and BOD of the polluted river water and was more effective at reducing the pollutant load of SO42− and Zn. In regard to hardness ions and heavy metal detoxification, C. vulgaris performed better at removing Ca2+, Mg2+, Cr, and Mn. These findings indicate that both microalgae and cyanobacteria have great potential to remove various pollutants, especially heavy metals, from the polluted river water as part of a low-cost, easily controllable, environmentally friendly remediation strategy. Nevertheless, the composition of polluted water should be assessed prior to the designing of microalgae- or cyanobacteria-based remediation technology, since the pollutant removal efficiency is found to be species dependent.
